Music Monday: Helga

[extrapenguin]

I recently discovered Female Fronted Power, a website dedicated to female fronted power (and symphonic, black, melodeath, etc) metal, with album reviews, frontwoman interviews, and a list of announced albums for 2024. I've gone through the albums announced for 2024 and the interviews, all of which include a YouTube embed of a single. A lot of stuff I already knew about, but I came across this interesting band, Helga. It's ... I would compare them to Myrkur, in that there's a lot of moody atmospheric stuff, but it is a bit more choral in places. All 10 tracks are freely previewable (pre-listenable?) on Bandcamp, so if you like Myrkur or think "woman singing moody metal in a forest" sounds intriguing, check them out:
